Iron-based coagulants are dosed in enormous amounts and play an essential role in various segments of our urban water infrastructure. PF-06873600 solubility dmso In order for the water industry to become circular, a closed-loop management strategy for iron needs to be developed. In this study, we have demonstrated for the first time that in-sewer dosed iron, either in the form of FeCl3 or ferric-based drinking water sludge (Fe-DWS) as a means to combat sewer corrosion and odour, can be recovered in the form of vivianite in digested sludge in down-stream wastewater treatment plants. Importantly, about 92 ± 2% of the in-sewer dosed Fe was estimated to be bound in vivianite in digested sludge. A simple insertion of Neodymium magnet allowed to recover 11 ± 0.2% and 15.3 ± 0.08% of the vivianite formed in the digested sludge of the in-sewer dosed iron in the form of FeCl3 and Fe-DWS, respectively. The purity of recovered vivianite ranged between 70 ± 5% and 49 ± 3% for in-sewer dosed FeCl3 and Fe-DWS, respectively. Almost complete (i.e. 98 ± 0.3%) separation of Fe in the form of ferrihydrite was achieved from vivianite after alkaline washing. Subsequent batch experiments demonstrated that the recovered ferrihydrite can be directly reused for efficient sulfide control in sewers. At a ferrihydrite-FeS molar ratio of 1.21, sewage dissolved sulfide concentrations was reduced from 15 mgS/L to below 0.5 mgS/L within 1 h of reaction. Overall, the results obtained in our study flag a first step for utilities towards a closed-loop iron-based coagulant management approach. C57BL/6J mice have long been studied as a model of age-related hearing loss (ARHL). In C57BL/6J mice, ARHL begins in the high-frequency range at 3 months of age and spreads toward low frequencies by 10 months of age. We previously confirmed that c.753A>G genome editing of an ahl allele (c.753A) in the cadherin 23 gene (Cdh23) suppressed the onset of ARHL until 12 months of age. We further investigated the hearing phenotypes of the original and genome-edited C57BL/6J-Cdh23+/+ (c.753G/G) mice until 24 months of age. The hearing tests revealed that most of the C57BL/6J mice maintained good hearing levels until 14 months of age following genome editing of a Cdh23ahl allele. However, the hearing levels of the C57BL/6J-Cdh23+/+ mice gradually declined, and severe ARHL developed with increasing age. ARHL in the C57BL/6J mice was correlated with degeneration of the stereocilia in cochlear hair cells. The stereocilia degeneration was rescued in the C57BL/6J-Cdh23+/+ mice at 12 months of age, but the stereocilia bundles exhibited abnormal phenotypes similar to those of the original C57BL/6J mice at more advanced ages. Therefore, genome editing of Cdh23ahl did not completely suppress ARHL in C57BL/6J mice. We also compared the hearing levels of C57BL/6J-Cdh23+/+ mice with those of C3H/HeN and MSM/Ms mice, which carry the Cdh23+ allele. The severity and onset patterns of ARHL in the C57BL/6J-Cdh23+/+ mice differed from those observed in other Cdh23+/+ mice. Therefore, we hypothesize that other susceptible and/or resistant alleles of ARHL exist in the genetic backgrounds of these mice. Although huangjiu is a popular alcoholic beverage in China, the occurrence of quick-intoxication suppresses huangjiu consumption and impedes development of the huangjiu industry. In this study, the Cryprinus carpio intoxication model was used to compare the differences in intoxication effect of alcoholic beverages and to assess the impacts of huangjiu components on intoxication for the first time. Exposure to huangjiu led to the most rapid physical imbalance of C. carpio, followed by red wine and Western liquor. Higher alcohols, biogenic amines and aldehydes could cause physical imbalance of fish by themselves, and synergistic effects were observed when combined with ethanol. 2-Phenylethanoland and isopentanol had the greatest positive effect on huangjiu intoxication, followed by histamine and phenethylamine. No synergistic effect was observed between individual aldehydes and ethanol. Identification of these impactful huangjiu components provides a new perspective on the establishment of more rigorous control on the quality and flavor of huangjiu. The endophytic fungus Cladosporium sphaerospermum WBS017 was obtained from healthy bulbs of Fritillaria unibracteata var. wabuensis. Fermentation of C. sphaerospermum on solid rice medium yielded three new hybrid polyketides, cladosins L-N (1-3), and a known derivative cladodionen (4). Further cultivation of this fungus on white bean medium afforded an additional new hybrid polyketide, cladosin O (5) along with three known analogues (6-8). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated using a combination of NMR and HRESIMS data. The absolute configurations of compounds 2 and 3 were determined by Mosher's method and TDDFT-ECD calculations. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities. Cladodionen (4) exhibited cytotoxicity against the mouse lymphoma cell line L5178Y with an IC50 value of 3.7 μM, and also exhibited antifungal activity against Ustilago maydis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, while cladosin L (1) displayed week antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and S. aureus ATCC 700699 with MIC values of 50 and 25 μM, respectively. Phospholipases are enzymes that are involved in the hydrolysis of acyl and phosphate esters of phospholipids, generating secondary messengers that have implications in various cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation and motility. As such inhibitors of phospholipases have been widely studied for their use as anti-cancer therapeutics. Phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) is implicated in the progression of a number of cancer cell lines including aggressing triple-negative breast cancers. Most current studies on PC-PLC have utilised D609 as the standard inhibitor however it is known to have multiple failings, including poor stability in aqueous media. 2-Morpholinobenzoic acids were recently identified using vHTS as a potential class of lead compounds, with improvements over D609. In this work 129 analogues in this class were prepared and their PC-PLC inhibitory activity was assessed. It was found that the majority of these novel compounds had improved activity when compared to D609 with the most potent inhibitors completely inhibiting enzyme activity.
